PARP Inhibition Enhances Radiotherapy of SMAD4-Deficient Human Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas in Experimental Models
5 Mar 2020
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Purpose: SMAD4 loss causes genomic instability and the initiation/progression of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Here, we study whether SMAD4 loss sensitizes HNSCCs to olaparib (PARP inhibitor) in combination with radiotherapy (RT). Experimental Design: We analyzed HNSCC The Cancer Genome Atlas data for SMAD4 expression in association with FANC/BRCA family gene expression. Human HNSCC cell...
